Leftism: a self-solving problem.
Go Ahead, Fly That Rainbow Flag
But before you do, realize one thing: When you advocate for this — which is beyond your personal choice and into trying to influence others to “celebrate” or “join” it — you are advocating for the literal suicide of your own species.Don’t kid yourself. Just look here.
At 1.784 births per female over her lifetime each generation produces 0.892 of itself in children. Some small percentage of those children die before reaching sexual maturity and thus the capacity to reproduce themselves, but we’ll ignore that and count it as zero.
A “generation” is about 20-30 years on a “family” basis. That is, that’s when the next generation begins to have children. But on a social basis — that is, across society, its the bookends that matter and the generally-accepted number of generations in the last 100 years is roughly six. I’ll call it five — or 20 years per.
Well, at the current rate by 2200 the “replacement” population of the United States will be one third of what it is now — and headed toward zero.
By the way at one third of the current population in “replacement value” you had better pray the things that need to be done today by people (e.g. building roads, etc.) are all done by robots because if they’re not society will collapse as the basic requirements to maintain it will be lost. Indeed that will happen well before we get to that point.
I will not be alive to see that but my daughter has reasonably-good odds to be.
If you have children under 18 yours almost-certainly will live long enough to see that.
In other words if you’re an adult and put up with this crap you are committing the literal slow suicide of your own species.
On a somewhat related note, it’s long been my own contrarian, tongue-in-cheek theory that, rather than opposing abortion on moral and philosophical grounds, conservatives should perhaps consider encouraging it, on strictly practical ones. Since it will be mostly shitlibs who avail themselves of this beautiful, uplifting womens’ “health care” “choice,” all we’d have to do to be rid of them forever is just sit back and wait them out—eventually they’ll all die off, and POOF! Just like that, all our national political and cultural problems will be gone like smoke on a gusty day.

No argument with the general thought process here.
OTOH, “Well, at the current rate by 2200…” –
That is 177 years from now, and predicting societal trends of that length is rather
ridiculousdifficult. As you note to some degree, the problem may very well be self correcting even absent abortion for the lefties. Even without abortion the marxist left has fewer children than those of sane mind.
